TV System update silent install

Hi, I have system update silent install working fine but it doesn't add an icon in teh start menu or prgrams - anyone know the switch to make this happen ?
Thanks

Hmm, it's working as expected here:
1.  I can type "System Update" into the start menu and it shows up
-->  please check this on your system
2.  There is a shortcut "System Update.lnk" installed in the "c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\lenovo thinkvantage tools" folder
-->  I am wondering if one or more of the folders in this path is somehow hidden on your system, please check it

    I recently did a system update and installed Yosemite on my Mac. Now I am unable to open CS5 at all. The error message I get is this: "To open Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, you need to install legacy Java SE 6 runtime." I have tried downloading this and it still gives me the same mess

    In the details it is mentioned that it is an outdated version of Java.
    Is this a security risk that i need to live with to get CS5 to run with Yosemite?
    Also i need to reject messages from Java in the future about updates, or not?
    thx for any input

  • Acrobat 9.1 Update - Silent Install - Deploy is not "Silent"

    Acrobat 9.1 Update - Silent Install / Deploy is not "Silent" or Quiet
    When Installing and/or Deploying the Update for Acrobat Pro/Std 9.0 in Silent mode:
    AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp /q /l adobe91.log
    AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp /qn
    I get a "File Transfer" like status window that pop's up.
    It is very brief, and all is well.
    The problem is we're trying to reach 0% intrusion on the customers that this will be deployed to.
    Is there another slash that is missing or does the install process just have this and we'll have to live with it?
    I ran the patch in normal mode and you can see the pop-up during the install process in-between:
    Optimizing Performance and Publishing Product Information.
    Please Advise.
    Thank you.

    I know this post is a few months old, but for those that still need the info:
    Updating Adobe Acrobat Professional from 9.0.0 to 9.1.2
    1. Download the 2 patches, AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp (this updates to 9.1.0) and AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp (this updates to 9.1.2) and place them in the same folder.
    If you are already at 9.1, you don't need the first patch.
    2. Copy the AcroPro.msi file from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Setup Files\guid (I didn't feel like typing out the whole string) to the folder with the patches.  This is where the setup placed this file for my installation of CS4; your location could be in a different spot.
    3. Create your script with the following 2 lines:
    msiexec /p "%installdir%\AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp" /qn /norestart REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus
    msiexec /p "%installdir%\AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp" /qn /norestart REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus
    Substitute your path to the folder with the patch files for %installdir% above.
    Obviously, this procedure is for updating Windows only.  This was only tested on Windows XPSP3 with Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0.0 as installed as part of CS4 Master Collection.

  • Can't repair disk permissions, System Updates wont install

    Hi there,
    I wondered, why any system update wont install on my MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.5.5. So I tried to repair disk permissions which causes an error that calls something like "there is an error in quitting the process" (sorry ... have only the german version, so this is nearly what it says).
    Repairing the permissions from a Leopard DVD ends up the same way.
    Repairing the harddisk works fine.
    Updating the 10.5.5 Combo Update quits with an error that says "The Installation package couldn't install some of the files in "/". Contact the Manufacturer."
    Any ideas what this could be ? Thought it startet a couple of days ago with the installation of a new Java Version, but I'm not sure if this causes any problems.
    Thanks for any suggestions

    ok,
    I've found this in the logfiles:
    Started verify/repair permissions on disk disk0s2 Macintosh HD
    Error -9972: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    Finished verify/repair permissions on disk disk0s2 Macintosh HD
    Error detected while verifying/repairing permissions on disk0s2 Macintosh HD: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
    Repairing the keychains worked fine but didn't solve the problem at all.

  • Flash CS3 Updates Silent Install

    Are there any switches to silently install
    flash9_en_us_9_0_2_update.exe? And there is no Control Panel item
    to uninstall Flash CS3 9.0.2? When CS3 get's uninstalled it leaves
    files that were updated by 9.0.2. Where can I get an uninstaller
    for it?

    Okay... I'm becoming extremely upset and impatient with
    Adobe. I cannot install this download of the free trial for Flash
    if it were to save my life...
    I have tried changing permissions to my registry keys,
    installing in Safe Mode (the installer didn't allow me to install
    in safe mode), installing in VGA mode (which was much harder than I
    think installing anything should have been, not being able to see
    the buttons to carry on and having to click Tab and hoping u have
    selected "Next"), installing it while turning off every single
    application except for the Windows ones, running the Adobe CS3
    cleanup script, defragmenting my disk, and even trying System
    Restore...
    So far nothing has worked... For some reason that installer
    window will NOT appear. The progress bar mentioned in my first post
    shows up, but after it finishes loading it disappears and I never
    see the installation screen, no warning, error message, or
    anything. My computer carries on idly...
    Please... Some please help me. If you know of something which
    I have not tried yet please tell me. There is no way I'm going to
    buy Flash if I can't even install the free trial... I might as well
    try to get Flash 8 somewhere or maybe even try to find a freeware
    program with similar capabilities... I cannot stress how
    dissapointed I am right now and I hope no one else has to go
    through such hassles during their installations.
    Again, someone, PLEASE help me.
    I do not believe the problem is in my computer... I have run
    a virus scan and I have nothing infected. I have seen the window
    before on the first time I tried to install Flash, but the download
    was corrupted and I had to uninstall it... I never saw that window
    again...
    Please... help... me... I've lost so much of my time trying
    to install this program...

  • Lenovo System Update not installing a driver

    I reinstalled Windows 8.1 Pro on a X1 Carbon Touch, model 3448.  I then installed the Lenovo System Updater, version 5.06.0027.  Many drivers were installed, but I still have an unknown device in Device Manager.  In msinfo32.exe, I see this in Problem Devices:
    ACPI\LEN0078\5&2890D6990&0
    A web search seems to indicate I need a Lenovo Power Management driver.
    Any idea why the Lenovo System Updater does not identify this device and install the appropriate driver?

  • System Updates not installing

    Help!
    Every time I try to install system updates is stops at "configuring installation items".
    Is this happening to anyone else??

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    Delete this file; com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch Software Update either from the Apple Menu (Apple logo top left in your Desktop/Software Updates), OR, System Preferences/Software Updates.
    Your Mac will create a new .plist file for you the next time you launch Software Update.

  • System updates not installed/downloaded

    I noticed in the ThinkVantage Systemupdate history several Windows 7 updates that did not install or download, but I am not able to select them from the history to try again. Why do Windows updates not install and hoew can I move the failed installations back into the upgrade list?

    It is possible that in the meantime, Windows Update downloaded and installed the same updates, which would cause TVSU to not detect it as there is no need. Check in the Windows Update history for the same updates.

    I have had two strange problems upon updating from Arch using pacman.

    I also have a concern about the latest kernel.
    I decided to install and build the latest kernel (from a chrooted environment) and noticed that I got a kernel panic (upon trying to boot into arch) no matter what I did (about it not being able to mount the root filesystem from /dev/sdb2). I could enable old pciix support, but I got annoyed by the clock skew outputs when building. How are devices, particularly SATA drives, named and accessed now?
    [edit]By the way, I have two separate kernel booting for Arch. Here's is my grub config for those
    title Arch Linux
    root (hd1,1)
    kernel (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinux-2.6.16.arch root=/dev/sdb2
    initrd (hd1,1)/boot/initrd26.img
    title Arch Linux (modified kernel)
    root (hd1,1)
    kernel (hd1,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20 root=/dev/sdb2

  • DBCA does not check right file system during silent install

    Hi folks
    I'm busy testing the dbca in 9.0.1.2 under AIX4.3.3 and should
    give my customer a recommendation to use or not to use this tool
    for future database installations.
    There're some difficulties using this tool when relying comple-
    tely on it. The dbca always tests the root filesystem "/" and
    not the filesystem(s) the database is about to be installed in.
    I could suppress this "warning" by switching off all "harmless"
    error messages but then some important messages would also not
    appear.
    Any suggestions or solutions? Is there a way to switch off this
    error message only (e.g. when raw devices are used)?
    Regards,
    Martin.

    Still reposting 'cause this is important to me.
    Thanx in advance.

    Go to Solution.

    So first of all you solution.
    open Command Controll (CMD) (i would recommend in administator mode)
    navigate to the folder where you saved your "systemupdate.exe" 
    type systemupdate502-06-26-2013.exe /s /a /v"/qn"
    (this will install System Update silent. For more inforamtion about that you should visit the microsoft support)
    Now wait a bit (depends on how fast your maschine is)
    Now open Metro, press this new little "down arow" and there you must find your installed systemupdate
    So and now a few words more:
    I had this same Problem on a Leaked Final Windows 8.1 version. This means when in October Win8.1 will offical realease, Systemupdate will not work. I think lenovo should go back to his roots and provide the best support they could instead of blocking all work to Windwos 8.1 Threads. I know many people that buy your Laptops only because of the good support.

  • Lenovo System update 5.1 won't install on windows 8

    My sytstem update worked for a few weeks in windows 8 and then it stopped loading.  I tried to do an uninstall and reinstall but unfortunately I get the following message "the wizard was interrupted before lenovo system update could be completely installed" I read forums that I need to have .net install which I already have so what else could be the problem.  Are there any files that I should make sure are deleted?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Had the same issue and the same error message after System Update 5.01.0005 stopped working and would not install after being uninstalled.
    I looked at the installation log and there was an error about service installation failure. So I looked at the Windows Services, and there was a System Update service installed, pointing to a non-existing folder under Program Files (x86). I removed the service manually (sc delete SUService from administrative command prompt) and after that System Update installed fine.

  • System Update 3.14 install fails on action: SetVendorV​alue

    Hi, folks:
    I'm attempting to install System Update 3.14 for the first time on a 2004-vintage ThinkPad T42 type 2379-DXU. The immediate failure appears to be that the action "SetVendorValue" fails. I'm not sure what the underlying cause is. The installation terminates with an alert that installation failed and the system is unchanged; but in fact the System Update application is installed and there's an icon in my Start menu. When I try to run System Update, it displays an error message in front of the splash screen and quits.
    Details and log excerpts below. Can anyone figure out why the install is failing? How can I get the install to succeed and the System Update app to run successfully? Thanks in advance for any ideas.
    In the meantime, I'm going to try downloading individual drivers manually, to solve my underlying problem. But I'd sure like to have System Update on my side in the future.
    --Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada
     Details* run the installer "systemupdate314-2008-5-15.exe".
    * installation proceeds through several steps. Shortly after the "Writing vendor value" status message appears, the installation fails with an error alert saying that that installer cannot complete and the system is unchanged.
    * in fact, there is now a c:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\ folder, and a System Update icon under Start menu -> All Programs -> ThinkVantage -> System Update.
    * clicking the System Update icon in the start menu causes the program to launch and fail. The splash screen appears, then an alert "System Update could not start properly [OK]". Clicking [OK] causes the program to exit.

    [End of details]

    Well, the problem is solved, and System Update is installed and working.
    The root cause of the problem appeared to be that the registry directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE no longer extended "full control" permission to the Administrators user group on my machine. We fixed this by using regedit:
    Start... Run... regedit....
    select directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE, right-click, Permissions...,
    press Add... button
    enter SYSNAME\Administrators in the text area (SYSNAME is a placeholder for my actual machine name)
    OK... OK...
    Quit regedit
    We diagnosed the problem with the help of IT support from our employer. The problem was blocking installation of new anti-virus software. We had just removed old anti-virus and "internet security" software. Hmm, I wonder if the old security software removed this permission setting as a parting gift.
    Hope this is helpful for others who encounter the same symptoms.
